Not everyone wants to book a hotel room just to use a nice pool.
In Nha Trang, you can enjoy a pool without staying in a hotel.
Nha Trang resort day passes give flexible access for day guests.
A handful of beachfront resorts throw open their gates to day visitors. This is part of the Nha Trang day pass battle. It includes access to infinity pools, private beaches, and loungers for a fraction of the overnight rate.
But which one gives you the most for your dong? I’ve tested all five — from a 100,000 VND budget escape to a 600,000 VND five‑star lagoon. And here’s how they stack up.
I compare each resort’s Day Pass price, pool options, beach situation, food, and overall vibe to help you choose in the Nha Trang day passes battle.
For the full deep-dive on any resort, click the link in the resort name. I’ve written dedicated reviews of Diamond Bay Resort, Mia Resort Nha Trang, Amiana Resort Nha Trang, and Boma Resort Nha Trang.
If you want to turn a day trip into an overnight stay, I’ve included rough room rates for each property.

🏨 What If You Want to Stay Overnight?
A day pass is a great way to test a resort before committing to a full stay. If you love the pool, beach and overall atmosphere, staying overnight can make sense — especially at Diamond Bay, Mia Resort, Amiana or Boma Resort. Compare room prices, guest reviews and available dates before deciding whether a day pass or overnight stay gives you better value for your trip and for Nha Trang resort day passes.
🏖️ 1. Diamond Bay Resort — The Budget King
Day Pass: 100,000 VND. That’s about $4 USD. And it gets you access to a large, clean swimming pool, a private stretch of beach, and a towel. There’s no F&B credit, but the onsite restaurant serves grilled seafood and cold beer at reasonable resort prices, or you can discreetly bring your own snacks. Nobody minds.
Who it’s for: Solo travelers, couples, or anyone who wants a quiet, affordable escape without frills. The pool is spacious enough for laps, and the beach is almost always empty on weekdays. It’s also the closest Day Pass to the city centre — a 15‑minute Grab ride. If you want the full breakdown, read my dedicated Diamond Bay review.
Overnight option: Rooms from ~800,000 VND per night. You can check rates for Diamond Bay Resort Nha Trang if you decide to stay overnight.
🌿 2. Mia Resort — The Hillside Hideaway
Day Pass: 500,000 VND per adult (from 12 years). Includes a 200,000 VND Food & Beverage credit that you must spend at the Kitchen by the Sea restaurant — it’s essentially a prepaid deposit for lunch and drinks. Child pass (6–11 years): 200,000 VND (includes 100,000 VND F&B credit). Children under 2 are free.
You get access to several scenic pools — including an infinity pool overlooking the ocean — a private beach, a complimentary buggy service, and towels. The restaurant serves excellent Vietnamese and Western food (I recommend the grilled prawns), and the views are some of the best in Nha Trang.
Who it’s for: Couples wanting a romantic, slightly upscale day without paying five‑star prices. The hillside setting feels worlds away from the city, and the buggy rides add a touch of adventure. For the full experience, read my detailed Mia Resort review.
Overnight option: Rooms from ~2,500,000 VND per night. You can check rates for Mia Resort Nha Trang if you decide to stay overnight.
🐠 3. Amiana Resort — The Lagoon of Dreams
Day Pass: 600,000 VND for adults, 400,000 VND for children. Includes a towel, sun lounger, and a 100,000 VND food voucher. The centerpiece is a 2,500 m² natural saltwater lagoon filled with tropical fish. You float with them. No snorkel required. On top of that, you get access to two additional freshwater pools (one heated), a private beach, and a free kids’ club.
Who it’s for: Families, couples celebrating something, or anyone who wants a genuinely unique swimming experience. The lagoon is the star — it’s like swimming in a giant aquarium. One downside: dinner at the resort is overpriced. Order Grab instead. For the full scoop, read my Amiana luxury day pass review.
Overnight option: Rooms from ~3,000,000 VND per night. You can check rates for Amiana Resort Nha Trang if you decide to stay overnight.
🥥 4. Boma Resort — The Coconut Chill Zone
Day Pass: Two tiers. The Standard Pass (250,000 VND) gives you access to selected resort areas and includes an F&B credit equal to the ticket price — essentially a free lunch. The Swimming Pool Pass (390,000 VND) includes 250,000 VND F&B credit plus full pool access and use of the kids’ club. Children (6–12 years): 150,000 VND for Standard Pass, 250,000 VND for Swimming Pool Pass. Kids under 6 go free with a paying adult (one child per adult max).
Who it’s for: Couples, solo travelers, or families who want a laid‑back pool day without sand. The smoothies are addictive, the staff are lovely, and the whole place has a boutique, “stay forever” energy. For more, read my Boma Resort review.
Overnight option: Rooms from ~1,200,000 VND per night. You can check rates for Boma Resort Nha Trang if you decide to stay overnight.
🌊 5. Axi Beach Lounge — The Airport Escape
Day Pass: 220,000 VND for adults, 150,000 VND for children. Includes one free nonalcoholic drink (coffee, juice, or soft drink). Just ten minutes from Cam Ranh Airport, Axi has two pools — one saltwater, one freshwater — and a long, quiet beach. Towels cost extra: 50,000 VND — bring your own if you want to save.
Who it’s for: Travelers with a late flight who want a comfortable, stress‑free last day. The luggage storage and clean showers make it a perfect departure lounge. For the full details, read my Axi Beach Lounge review.
Overnight option: This is a lounge, not a hotel, but there are hotels near Cam Ranh Airport within a short drive.
